A surprise party and family reunion
at Mrs. Elizabeth Browns, eight miles
east of this city, Monday, celebrating
Mrs. Browns sixty-fifth birthday, was
very successful and highly enjoyed by
all who attended. About 10 O'Clock the
children and grandchildren began to
assemble, bringing with them every
thing good in the eating line, as it was
to be total surprise to the old lady.
By noon the grand old family table that
has done service for twenty-five years
was connected with another and load
ed with the delicious delicacies. After
dinner the children presented Mrs
Brown innumerable mementoes of the
occasion, among which was very fine
plush rocking chair, present from her
own children. Squire D. Brown
brought a cake of his own making
which was equal to any that graced the
richly spread table. Mrs. Brown is an
old settler of Lyon County having been
here since 1852. Thirty-five children
and grandchildren of Mrs. Browns at
tended the celebration.

THE great expansion in the volume
Of general business throughout the
country is well shown in the small ad-
dition which is being made to the hold
ings Of the New York private associa-
ted banks every week since the increase
begun, in the second week Of the pres
emit month. The reserves in the past
six days expanded less than ESQ.,, 600.
The general rule in this month, in or

demand for money, is for the reserves
to increase at a rate per week several

THE fact is not concealed at st.

shipped from the east to the west that
the main railway lines issue full passes
to stock shippers from the south and

ONE item Of Judge Bucks excellent
speech before the Odd Fellows Of this
city Tuesday, may be news to many Of
our readers. The substance Of It was
this: After the great Chicago IRE mes
sageS were telegraphed to Odd Fellows
lodges all over the country, stating that
. thousand families Of Odd Fellows
were destitute, and that seven lodges
had been destroyed. The immediate,
quiet, unheralded response to these
messages was over one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in cash, and the
amount Of aid rendered TO the Chicago
sufferers by this order exceeded the az
Rregate amount OF aid furnished by AL
the other benevolent orders then In sx-
iHtence.-OsAge City Free Press.

THE origin of the whirlwind which
devastated large section of Belmont
county, Ohio, has been definitely fixed, a
farmer living just north of Lloydsville,
village sixteen miles west of Wheel
ing, having seen column of dust and
leaves rise where there were two de-
pressions in the rolling ground. which
allowed two currents of wind to cross
at right angles. A little eddy started,
sucking up leaves and dirt and mo-
mentarily increasing in size until it
formed column from the earth appa-
rently to the sky, which ran forward
with fearful velocity, through an ezra
tic course in a general easterly direc-
ton, the larger and upper end keeping
. course more nearly straight and the
lower end referred to by eye witnesses
as the tail, lashing about, striking a
house here and demOlishing it and then
not touching the earth for perhaps hum
dreds of yards. When the wind struck
st. Clarisville it was split into two as
cending and whirling columns, which
united with a great mass of black
clouds in the heavens.

MRS. LOGAN is said to have fur
nished the following to a correspon
dent OF the Utica Observer:
First. She is not writing a novel, as
has been currently reported, but says,
Life has been far too real to me to in
dulge in romance" Second. She has
not said she would oppose the project
Of another pension bill, and she does
not intend to oppose such a measure.
Third. Mrs. Logan has not received 81
of the salary due her deceased husband
from the government at the time of his
death. Fourth. When the debts were
paid and the affairs of the estate were
settled, there was no such amount left
as the public credited her; she was
obliged to draw upon the fund raised
for her benefit to settle the affairs of
"he estate before she could act as adj
ministrator thereof. Fifth. She is
much more than grateful for the gen.
eroSity of the people and what they
have done so promptly, as otherwise
she would have been obliged to seek
some means of earning her own living.
Sixth. She says she is trying to live her
lonely life as best she can, and the
greatest kindness the press of the coun-
try can do her is to refrain from the
constant misrepresentation of her fl
nances, to which she is daily subjected.

Our senior Senator'S Gall.


From the Beloit Courier.
Speaking of Ingalls,, in another place
in this paper, reminds us of the meeting
of him and our congressman, E. j. Tur-
ner. The first thing Turner did on
arriving in Washington was to go and
pay his respects to both our senators. OF
Plumb, we all know that the warmest
cordiality would be extended to the
Young man and new member, and it was
heartily accorded. But what of the old
icicle, ingalls,? Ughi Well, like all
bashful young fellows, Turner busted

face and-Sent In his card by a messen-
ger boy. Ingalls, was entertaining COM

atefy thrown open and the tall, glen-

That little episode took the wind out of
Turner and forever shattered the pretty
little stringlet of platitudes that he
conn6d over to greet the Senator with,
